  Richard Doddridge Blackmore was born on 7th June, 1825 at Longworth in Berkshire (now part of Oxfordshire), where his father, John Blackmore, was Curate-in-charge of the parish. His mother died a few months after his birth the victim of an outbreak of typhus. With this loss the family moved to Bushey, Hertfordshire, then on to their native Devon.  His elder brother Richard (by a year), however, was taken by his aunt to live near Oxford. His father married again in 1831, whereupon Richard returned to live with them.  With much of his childhood spent in the lush and pastoral "Doone Country" of Exmoor, and along the Badgworthy Water, Blackmore came to love the very countryside he immortalised in Lorna Doone.  In November 1853 he married his wife Lucy.  And the following year, 1854, his literary career began with a collection of Poems and for the next 15 years he would write in the winters and garden in the summers.  In 1860 with inherited money he built a house in Teddington just outside of London and established a market garden for the cultivation of fruit.  He loved horticulture but having little business experience could never really exploit it.  However with the publication of Lorna Doone in 1869 he was catapulted to fame.  And although he continued to write extensively nothing caught the public imagination quite like Lorna Doone.  RD Blackmore died at Teddington on 20th January, 1900 after a long and painful illness, and was buried next to his wife in Teddington cemetery.

  Left impoverished upon the death of her aunt, Emma Watson has no option but to be reunited with her estranged father and siblings. Initially delighted with her new life—including the fashionable society balls to which she now has access—Emma soon realizes that her family harbors many ill feelings, not least those springing from the sisters' hopes—and disappointments—in snaring a husband. So when the eligible and suitably rich Tom Musgrove begins to transfer his affections from her sister Margaret to Emma, the result can only be further sibling rivalry and unrest. A delightful, exquisitely drawn portrait of family life, The Watsons is Jane Austen at her storytelling best. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen (1775–1817) is one of the most beloved novelists of all time.

  The Dunwich Horror — Part 8 of 10

  H. P. Lovecraft

  Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s descent into cosmic nightmare: The Dunwich Horror. 
  The devastation left in the wake of the unseen horror deepens. Across the battered hills of Dunwich, homes lie in ruin, fields are torn apart, and the air itself feels wrong — twisted by the passage of something that should not exist. The invisible behemoth roams beyond human reach, and fear has become an inescapable presence in the countryside. 
  In the aftermath, hope flickers for the first time. A small band of scholars prepares to confront what cannot be seen, armed not with weapons, but with forbidden knowledge and desperate incantations. Yet even this fragile resistance feels terrifyingly inadequate against a force born beyond the stars. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this chapter carries the story toward its turning point — where human defiance stands face to face with an indifferent and ancient terror that was never meant to be fought. 
  This is Part 8 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the end begins to take shape.
